BOARD OF SUPERVISORS BUSINESS MEETING

The Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors business meeting on October 21, 2026, included updates on county schools, community services, zoning, and the FY2027 budget. The board unanimously approved budget amendments totaling $11,110,303.04, including $2,816,226 for the courthouse renovation project and $150,230.71 in grant funds; the remaining adjustments included state funding, largely for schools. The school superintendent reported ongoing capital work, including completion of the Kentuck Elementary addition and vestibule and HVAC projects, with Union Hall next in focus. He noted up to $9.7 million in state school construction assistance and projected approximately $75 million in sales-tax revenue over the full collection period for school capital improvements. No specific construction contract awards or vendors were identified.

Danville-Pittsylvania Community Services reported purchasing the former Elba Butcher Shop building to expand services in Gretna and said renovation bids had been received, but no award was announced. The board also approved a zoning text amendment reducing the minimum acreage for residential planned developments from 25 acres to 5 acres, and approved an amendment allowing temporary RV occupancy during permitted dwelling renovations or reconstruction. A requested property-tax exemption was declined after the applicant did not attend. In closing remarks, the chairman cited an $8.3 million contribution toward a new Hurt water plant. Other agenda items included recognitions and reports; no additional procurement awards were identified.
